Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I'll be drilling anchor holes in Nagano for two weeks.
Looks like there'll be more posts about drilling, lol.
However, this time it's slope stabilization work.

And so on—I think they're using spacers.
How many do you use per 10 square meters?
I had previously written that there were 18 designs (per 10 m²).
There’s actually a reason for this.
That is
30 main anchor pins + 150 auxiliary anchor pins = 180 pins per 100 m²
Converted to 10 square meters, that comes to 18
Well, I don't think younger managers or craftsmen would know this, but,
Back in the day, spacers were...PVC PipeThat's how it was. (Is that common knowledge among older guys who work on slopes?)
If the spray thickness is 10 cm, cut the VP50 PVC pipe to a length of about 5 cm.
They were driving anchor pins into that pipe.
It looks something like this.
I ended up drawing this in 3D CAD just so I could say this... lol
Since both the large and small pins were installed by sandwiching PVC pipes between them like this, the design called for 18 spacers.
However, given current market prices—and since the design itself is something that didn't exist anywhere to begin with—I think this is a reasonable price.
However, it is now generally considered that having some level of quality control is beneficial as part of a consistent quality management system.
It also seems like things are moving in the direction of using ingenuity to incorporate spacers.
However, you need to be careful because plastic spacers are prone to cracking.
Lately, we've been using nothing but this at our house.
The great thing about this is that even if you have some left over, you can sell it for cash (to a scrap metal dealer).
Plastic spacers just end up as trash even if you pay for them, but steel spacers are a resource, so you can turn them into money, right?
I highly recommendGreen Spacer!
As for our products, they just aren't selling at all lol
Since there aren't any landscaping projects, I've given up, but it's not selling at all—it's almost laughable lol.
Since there's no other choice, we submit a request for approval and use it when we're acting as a first-tier subcontractor.
The government office is highly regardedBut, you know... lol
Well, it doesn't take up much space even if I keep it in stock, and if it ever gets in the way, I can just drop it off for free at the local cardboard recycling station. After all, it's recyclable waste! lol
If that's too much trouble for you, just warm up at the cold worksite lol
Compared to the spacers of the past, the ones available today are much more advanced.
Still, while you’re free to use whatever you like, it’s best to choose something that doesn’t get in the way or end up as trash, right?
So, that wraps up our discussion on the number of spacers, lol!
See you later.
